Curses. I wrote a great post, explaining the background and blah blah blah about finances from over half a century ago to now. Then I did a spastic click and blew the brower to smithereens and lost it all.

Briefly, my GLD short is real [unlike my multimillion$$ SKF shorts and buys to show Zim the Amazing how to trade]. Small in proportion. Big enough to be fun [some risk is necessary for fun].

I disagree < none, nil of the posters have a clue on a subject so complex. > I have taken considerable trouble to think it through and can handle very complex things. While it's not a slam dunk, as the decades have rolled by and data has accumulated, I'm feeling vindicated. I was actually paid very well to think about it for a few years [by BP Oil] so it's not as though I got religion with Al Gore's movie. My natural inclination is to assume disrupting natural systems is likely to be disastrous. But I do not assume nature loves us and has set up the cosmos for our personal benefit. Nature would cheerfully wipe humans and everything as was done to dinosaurs and any number of species. The Greenies think nature is in balance [it is not] and that nature loves us all like Bambi if only we would play nicely. If anything, Gaia has invented humans just in time [modern management technique] to excavate and recycle fossil carbon to save the planet from equatorial glaciation.

Gaia didn't invent special rules just for humans. We are part of the deal, just like termites.
Meanwhile, it's so damn cold here I'm going to have a soak in a hot bubble bath, heated by burning methane to put more CO2 into the air.
